    Shiga Koka-shi Tsuchiyamacho Kitatsuchiyama 1570
    A three-minute walk from Ohmi Tsuchiyama Station (not to be confused with Tsuchiyama Station), and a five-minute drive from the Koka-Tsuchiyama Interchange. This memorial museum is located near the site of the Tsuchiyama clan honjin stronghold in what was once the post station town of Tsuchiyama-juku on the old Tokaido Highway. Operating out of an old Japanese home built in the late Edo period, the structure itself is one of the museum's exhibits. In addition to introducing the history of Tsuchiyama-juku, museum exhibits include indoor and outdoor models of the old Tokaido Highway depicting government officials moving along its length. The museum also gives visitors the chance to put on traditional Japanese traveling garb and have their picture taken, offers a tea dying activity which uses the area's famous tea, and sells local specialty products.

    東海道伝馬館は、古民家を活かした施設で1階には土山宿のジオラマがある。2階には東海道五十三次を再現した立体展示もある。これは見ごたえあり!! 外の蔵には、大名行列の人形が並ぶなど、土山宿に関することを知る事ができる。 時期によっては、伝馬館でミニコンサートや展覧会が行われている。

Visitors to Shiga prefecture are almost always hopping east across the prefectural border from Kyoto, and they are almost certainly Lake Biwa-bound. Covering an area of 670 square kilometers, Lake Biwa makes up the bulk of Shiga prefecture, with beautiful lakeside paths that offer myriad walking and cycling opportunities, connecting a string of museums, shrines, and picturesque views that finally lead you to Hikone Castle on the eastern side of the lake.
